Pentingnya peran wanita, terutama pemimpin wanita, terletak pada dorongan untuk menciptakan buaya kerja inklusif yang mendorong kesetaraan gender. Selain itu, wanita juga memiliki peran penting dalam mendorong inovasi, adaptasi, dan pengembangan bisnis di perusahaan. 

Melihat semakin pentingnya peran wanita, HerStory.co.id memberikan apresiasi setinggi-tingginya, melalui penghargaan Indonesia Most Powerful Women Awards 2023: Leadership Beyond Gender. Penghargaan ini merupakan ketiga kalinya yang diberikan oleh HerStory.co.id kepada para pemimpin wanita yang terus melakukan inovasi dan pengembangan di setiap sektor industri. 

Leadership Beyond Gender dipilih sebagai tema dikarenakan peran wanita, terutama sebagai seorang pemimpin, dapat memberikan kontribusi pada peningkatan lingkungan kerja inklusif dan pengembangan potensi wanita lebih maksimal. 

Pemimpin Redaksi HerStory, Clara Aprilia Sukandar mengungkapkan, “Wanita sudah semakin berani dan lantang dalam menyuarakan pendapatnya serta menunjukkan kemampuannya untuk memimpin perusahaan di berbagai sektor. Bukti kesetaraan gender semakin merata terlihat dari data perentase (Grant Thornton Women in Business 2023) perempuan yang berada di posisi senior manajemen dalam perusahaan global, grafiknya terus menunjukkan angka yang positif meski perubahannya tak cukup besar dari tahun 2022. Tapi pada 2023 sebanyak 32,4 persen perempuan telah menempati senior manajemen,” ucap Clara, dalam penghargaan Indonesia Most Powerful Women Awards 2023: Leadership Beyond Gender, yang digelar virtual, Kamis (27/7/2023). 

Lebih lanjut, Clara mengatakan, meski persentase wanita di posisi kepemimpinan hanya sedikit meningkat, data Grant Thornton Women in Business 2023 menunjukkan, perluasan yang signifikan pada peran wanita yang menduduki posisi CEO dan CIO. 

“Pada 2019 hanya ada 15 persen perusahaan yang memiliki CEO perempuan dalam perusahaannya, sekarang angkanya menyentuh mencapai 28 persen. Kemudian posisi CIO perempuan juga naik dari 16 persen menjadi 23 persen di tahun yang sama. Sementara untuk posisi COO dan CFO meningkat juga menjadi 25 persen perusahaan yang memiliki COO perempuan dan 30 persen memiliki CFO perempuan,” ungkap Clara. 

Selain itu, melihat kondisi di Indonesia saat ini, Tingkat Partisipasi Angkatan Kerja (TPAK) juga mengalami peningkatan, berdasarkan data dari Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS) pada Februari 2023 lalu. Semulanya ada di angka 68,63 persen dan di 2023 mengalami kenaikan 69,3 persen. 

Jika dilihat TPAK berdasarkan gender, di bidang formal maupun informal, TPAK wanita terus meningkat dari tahun ke tahunnya. Meskipun tak dipungkiri, laki-laki masih memimpin untuk TPAK 2023. 

“Sejalan dengan tema awarding hari ini, yaitu Leadership Beyond Gender, peran perempuan terutama sebagai seorang pemimpin dapat memberikan kontribusi pada peningkatan lingkunan kerja yang inklusif dan pengembangan potensi perempuan yang lebih maksimal lagi. Bukan hanya di dunia kerja, pergerakan ekonomi negara juga dapat tumbuh lebih positif apabila perempuan berpartisipasi dalam dunia kerja,” kata Clara. 

Dalam kesempatan sama, Chairwoman of W20 Indonesia, Hadriani Uli Silalahi menuturkan, “Sebagai perempuan, kita harus siap percaya diri dan berani sejak dini. Terlebih lagi kita harus mampu beradaptasi terhadap kemajuan teknologi. Perempuan harus mempersiapkan diri harus menjadi pemimpin,” tegasnya. 

Lebih lanjut, Handriani menyampaikan, ajang penghargaan ini sangat luar biasa dan hebat karena dapat memacu perusahaan memberikan kesempatan serta motivasi pada perempuan mengembangkan kemampuannya. 

“Saya memberikan apresiasi setinggi-tingginya kepada panitia penyelenggara atas berlangsungnya acara ini. Saya ingin mengucapkan selamat kepada para pemenang yang sangat membanggakan dan diharapkan dapat memberikan inspirasi dan motivasi kepada seluruh perempuan di Indonesia,”
